'Lethal Weapon' Season 3: With Erica now joining the show's other strong women, it might as well be called Lethal Women

With Erica joining the league of badass women on Lethal Weapon this season, maybe it's time to rename the show's next season as Lethal Women.

Move aside Murtaugh and Cole, off late, it is the women of 'Lethal Weapon' who have been taking center stage on the show. As much as we love our buddy cop duo, the women of 'Lethal Weapon' have time and time again proved that they can sometimes be more sensible, abundantly cleverer and just as badass, every single time, as our detectives on the show.

Take Erica Malick for example. She's just a couple of episodes old on the show and she's already solved a major cartel case, helped take down a fortune 500 company and made Assistant DA on her own hard work and merit. Apart from her relationship with Cole, there's so much more to Erica and 'Lethal Weapon' has done a fantastic job portraying her onscreen. Her character isn't your garden variety token hot girl. She's gorgeous, of course, but Erica's character has depth, which sometimes female characters end up lacking, making them nothing more than the hero's arm candy. Remember when she had the presence of mind to be able to keep the murderer calm even when he was trying to stab her? She also fought back, kicking him. For someone who is not a cop or an ex CIA agent, the girl has got some moves!
